Percentage of Participants Achieving Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post-treatment (SVR12) in the Intention-to-Treat (ITT) Population
12 weeks after last dose of study treatment (Week 20)

SVR12 is defined as the hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) level less than the lower limit of quantification (\< LLOQ) 12 weeks after the last dose of study treatment. Efficacy was demonstrated if the lower bound of the 2-sided 95% CI for the percentage of participants achieving SVR12 was greater than 90.5%.

Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post-treatment (SVR12)
12 weeks after last dose of study drug (week 20 or 24 depending on treatment regimen)

SVR12 was defined as plasma hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) level less than the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ; less than 15 IU/mL) 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug.

Percentage of HCV GT1 - GT6-Infected Participants in Arm A Who Achieved Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post Treatment (SVR12)
12 weeks after the last actual dose of study drug, Week 20 or Week 28 depending on the treatment regimen.

Sustained virologic response 12 weeks post-treatment (SVR12) was defined as plasma hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) level less than the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ; less than 15 IU/mL) 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug.

Percentage of HCV GT1-Infected Participants in Arm A Who Achieved SVR12
12 weeks after last actual dose of study drug, Week 20 or Week 28 depending on the treatment regimen

SVR12 was defined as plasma HCV RNA level less than 15 IU/mL 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug.

Percentage of HCV GT2-Infected Participants in Arm A Who Achieved SVR12
12 weeks after the last dose of study drug, Week 20 or Week 28 depending on the treatment regimen.

Percentage of Participants in the Modified Intention-to-Treat Population With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post-treatment (SVR12)
12 weeks after the last actual dose of study drug, Week 20

SVR12 was defined as plasma hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) level less than the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ; 15 IU/mL) 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug. The 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was calculated using the Wilson's score method. Efficacy was to be established if the lower bound of the 95%CI was greater than the threshold of 92.4%, based on the historical rate observed in glecaprevir/pibrentasvir registrational studies in treatment-naïve, non-cirrhotic patients (98.4%) minus a margin of 6%.

Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post-treatment (SVR12) in Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Genotype (GT) 1,2,4,5 and 6-infected Participants in the Per Protocol (PP) Population
12 weeks after last dose of study drug

SVR12 was defined as plasma hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) level less than the lower limit of quantification (\<LLOQ; less than 15 IU/mL) 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug. Efficacy of the 8-week treatment duration compared to the historical 12-week treatment duration was demonstrated if the lower bound of the 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) for the percentage of participants with HCV GT1, GT2, GT4, GT5, or GT6 infection in the 8 week treatment duration achieving SVR12 was greater than 94% in the PP population. Efficacy analyses were performed following a fixed-sequence testing procedure to control the type I error rate. The percentage of participants achieving SVR12 was summarized with a 2-sided 95% CI, calculated using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution. If the number of participants who failed to achieve SVR12 rate was less than 5, the Wilson's score method was used to calculate the CI.

Primary efficacy analyses were performed following a fixed-sequence testing procedure to control the type I error rate. The percentage of participants achieving SVR12 was summarized with a 2-sided 95% CI, calculated using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution.

Steady-state Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to 24 Hours Postdose (AUC0-24) of Glecaprevir
Week 2 from predose to 24 hours post-dose

The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) is a method of measurement of the total exposure of a drug in blood plasma. The steady-state exposure of GLE was measured up to 24 hours after dosing at Week 2 and estimated using non-compartmental analysis.

Steady-state AUC0-24 of Pibrentasvir
Week 2 from predose to 24 hours post-dose

The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) is a method of measurement of the total exposure of a drug in blood plasma. The steady-state exposure of PIB was measured up to 24 hours after dosing at Week 2 and estimated using non-compartmental analysis.
